+++ After Thursday morning's training session, head coach Viktor Skripnik and Claudio Pizarro took to the indoor athletics hall for a photo shoot. The Peruvian striker was belatedly photographed to be added to this year's Werder autograph collection book. Viktor Skripnik, on the other hand, was in front of the camera for the latest promotion of the 'I want you' campaign. Skripnik has been part of the Werder family for 19 years now - first as a player, then as a youth team coach, and currently as first-team manager. Now he's trying his hand at encouraging supporters to become members of the Green-Whites. +++
+++ Double birthday: On Thursday, two of our former first-teamers celebrate their birthday. Werder legend and honorary team captain Horst-Dieter Höttges, who was a German champion with the Green-Whites in 1965, turns 72, whilst Andreas Herzog, who is former league and cup winner with Werder and now manages the USA national U23 side, celebrates his 47th birthday. SV Werder would like to wish them both all the best! +++

+++ Fans' enthusiasm boosted! Even a few days after the euphoric reception for Claudio Pizarro at Bremen airport and the huge crowd at the Peruvian's first training session, the sense of delight at the return of the Bundesliga's most successful foreign goalscorer is evident all around the Weser-Stadion. This is particularly evident from the surge in interest at the WERDER Fan-Welt and the rise in demand on the Online-Fanshop. In the near future, fans will have the opportunity to purchase Pizarro's name on the back of their shirt, but jerseys are not the only item that are proving to be popular. Mugs, T-shirts and scarves with 'Piza' branding are selling out quickly. All Pizarro merchandise is available exclusively from the Online-Fanshop. +++
+++ New arrivals say "hello": Like last season, the new summer signings are being guided around the club to meet the staff. Felix Wiedwald, Ulisses Gracia, Anthony Ujah, Aron Jóhannsson, Florian Grillitisch and Claudio Pizarro are all being introduced to their new colleagues, with goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald on Tuesday being the first to take the time to formally introduce himself on his return to his old club. In the course of the next few weeks, the rest of the new signings will get the chance to meet the accounting, scouting and marketing departments, among others. +++
